People by nature are like Sheeps…

‘How many are there who do not desire good or evil until they see someone else-especially if they are a similar colleague-perform said act and then they also do it? People are like flocks of sand grouses by nature driven to resemble and imitate one another.’

Ibn Taymiyyah majmoo alfatawa vol.28 p. 149-150
